peach outtakes

A peach that I used as a subject while getting my shooting table and lights together for a recent commercial shoot. The client was running a few minutes late and I had some time to work on the lighting. It's important to use test subjects while setting up and not your hero subject. The lighting and set up should be as close as possible when you bring in the hero.

Technical notes: AB800 in huge softbox, hanging from a boom, to camera left. One SB-800 in softlighter umbrella to camera right for a smudge of fill light. I used a D300 with a Nikon 105 VR macro lens and very little processing in Lightroom 2.0. I'll have more from this shoot soon.
